Toyota FT-1 Concept: From ‘Gran Turismo’ to Reality (Video)

Another automaker has jumped onto the recent trend of taking cars created for the Gran Turismo series of video games and transforming them into actual concept cars. This time it’s Toyota, who recently unveiled the Toyota FT-1 concept, first designed by Calty Design Research for the video game.

But the Toyota FT-1 concept represents something of a full circle, since, in designing the car, the people at Calty Design Research were influenced by the long tradition of sports cars at Toyota, with a design that echoes sports cars like the 2000GT, the Celica, the Supra, and more.

As you might expect from a Toyota sports car that originated in a video game, the Toyota FT-1 concept is a very handsome automobile. You can see just how handsome it is by checking out the video below, as well as a few images of the car in the gallery at the top of the page.
